Praise for Shian Chuan

After consulting with Shian, I was able to organize my thinking, put a framework together, and start working towards my goals. Each session with her helped me to discover more about myself and validated my ideas and beliefs. I eventually achieved a clearer understanding of my purpose. This process and journey could not have been attainable without Shian’s coaching.

Coaching with Shian has been brilliant. She helped me to take more initiative in my life, to be able to enjoy the present and to worry less about what is coming up next. It’s allowed me to focus on my own values, increase self-awareness, reveal my strengths and clarify what I should focus on. She has helped me to remember what feels good and it’s added more enjoyment and satisfaction in my day-to-day.

Shian has helped me gain greater consciousness over my strengths, attain tools to lead more efficiently and effectively at work, developclarity overmy long term, medium and short-termgoals and to feel more confident over the choices I’m making in my career and personal life. Working with Shian allowed me to get through challenges at work with more ease by understanding more about communication styles, applying practical tips from her and through assuring that my actions are in line with my values, strengths and goals. Shian makes you feel understood; helps you drill deeper and is open minded while still guiding and leading. For me personally, it was extremely helpful to have Shian reminding me of my actionpoints and checking in on my progress. She’s creative and full of ideas and our sessions felt more like meeting with a friend. I enjoy working with her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for leadership or career related coaching.

Shian is so personable, she put me at ease straight away. She asked me interesting questions and I found myself gaining new perspective and insight into my business and, more importantly, myself. Shian provided me with the tools I need to not only get started, but also to get back on track when life gets busy. Shian has given me the kickstart I needed to feel more confident, more focused, and more motivated to improve on my business. People ask me if I’ve cut my hair or started wearing a different makeup, because I look better and happier. I tell them, no, I’ve just finished a great coaching session!

I engaged Shian’s career coaching service by chance but it was one of the best decisions of my life. From the intense questioning during our brief first meeting, I could tell that this personknew what she was doing. What followed was weeks of self-discovery that made me question myself about my values and what I was doing that made me unable to progress in my career. Since then, I have reaffirmed my strengths and set about monetizing them while adding value to people around me. Today I assist my clients in drafting powerful marketing collateral to allow them to bring their messages out to the world.

Shian has helped me make peace with a lot of anguish and pain that surrounded my past. I am in a place now where I will not hold myself back from pursuing what I want. Our sessions helped me become more honest with myself, so that I don’t hide behind the excuses of my family, opportunity drought, and job dissatisfaction. Shian is an amazing listener and was there to support me in every step of my journey. She has helped me clear out my head so I can see my goals more clearly. I am on a continuous journey now to learn and block out the negative energy in my life and spend my time figuring out what in life excites me the most.

The biggest benefit from working with Shian was enabling me to let go of psychic baggage I’ve been carrying around and make room for optimism and greater purpose. Our sessions exceeded my expectations. Shian is very effective in listening for the emotion behind my words and making me aware of the energy I’m generating. I learned so much about myself from each session which helped me open my eyes to the opportunities I’m letting go because of the fears and doubts I was unconsciously holding. I’m grateful for Shian’s talents in asking the right questions as she helped me unlock what held me back along the way. Shian’s program was vital for getting professional guidance in undertaking this journey of self-discovery.

Helen V

Senior Program Manager

Shian is very familiar with the deepest layers of the heart and was able to pinpoint the exact words and imagery I needed to hear to make a major perception shift in the way I saw myself and those around me. I was struggling to see the value I provide, and Shian created a beautiful visualization for me on the spot to get to the root of this feeling and help me address it. I left our call feeling empowered and valued, andI was amazed at how she was able to cut to the heart of the matter so swiftly.

Hannah Exner

Founder and Entrepreneur, Women’s Wellness Movement

Every interaction with Shian–from her unique insights and tremendous ability to connect with people to her remarkable talent in inspiring people to nurture the values they stand for as they shape their careers–is an enriching experience. Through simple strategies and actionable plans her coaching helped me to laser focus, take courage to come out of my comfort zone, celebrate small wins, and clearly set my short/long term career goals. I highly recommend Shian if you are looking for an amicable and extremely resourceful facilitator to make an exceptional difference in your career!

Aravind Nair

Senior Program Manager

Shian comfortably helped guide me in my own decision-making process. She has the ability to put you at ease, quickly identify your aspirations, and help determine pros and cons of your potential paths. In doing so, my career path became obvious and I have a positive outlook on my decision and future. After struggling with career decisions and opportunities on my own for so long, Shian was the defining factor in helping me make the best decision. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to better themselves.

J Morrow

Dental Surgeon

Since working with Shian on many aspects of my personal and professional life, my professional and social life has continued to flourish. I have a much more positive and proactive attitude at work which has been noticed by many of my colleagues. I have also gained self-motivation and more energy, successfullyhitting my short and medium term goals related to finance, health and my personal development. Every day I wake up motivated to make my vision boards a reality. Even my health and immune system have improved! I have lost 17 pounds in a few short months since January 2015 and now, it only takes me a few days to recover from a flu, whereas I used to feel extremely tired for much longer periods.

Since knowing Shian, I have gained a self-confidence and strength that I didn’t know I had before. I am generally much more excited about all aspects of my life and look forward to a great future.

Shian is always so encouraging, friendly and a true cheerleader for my all round well-being. I am so thankful to have her in my life. Shian is undoubtedly the most influential and supportive person in my life.

Samantha White

Organizational Development Advisor

Shian’s coaching is excellent and is helping me to develop patterns that enable me to be a more effective leader at work, in my community and at home. I sought out Shian’s help to build on better habits and decision-making strategies that support that vision due to her expertise in neuroplasticity and behavioral science. Our work on mindset and frameworks for success is particularly helpful and the most recent coaching session was literally a break-through session for integrating one of the most critical areas of my life toward realizing my life vision.

John Schmelzeis

Director, Microsoft

Working with Shian has been amazing. She helped to uncover my primary performance barrier right at the first session itself, one that I did not even realize existed! I love that she didn’t teach how I ought to be thinking/ feeling/ doing. Through the sessions, she skillfully guided me along in structuring my thoughts, identifying my values and formulating realistic action plans to live the way I want to live. Since it all came from myself, the commitment to carrying out what I said I would do is so much higher. I also love how the sessions with her are so thought-provoking that I experienced plenty of a-ha moments in between the sessions. Best of all, Shian was very attentive and figured out my learning style very quickly, and so was able to recommend specific strategies to help me strengthen my conviction in what I want to do.

I highly recommend Shian to anyone who’s feeling stuck in life, even (or especially!) if they don’t know why. Thank you, Shian for helping me find my belief in myself, and my ability to self-direct my growth for the rest of my life.

Sin Ee Ho

Healthcare Administration

I found Shian to be caring and genuine in her approach to helping me overcome obstacles that I was not able to overcome myself. Shian helped me to uncover the reasons for feeling ‘stuck’ and worked with me to remove the ‘stuck’ feeling from my life. Shian was compassionate and empathetic in working with me around these issues and I cannot imagine trusting anyoneelse with such sensitive information and she showed integrity and professionalism in her delivery of services. I highly recommend Shian to anyone looking for ways to unlock their potential and move forward in achieving their life dreams.

Nicole Stuart

National Client and Compliance Manager

I have been given invaluable tools that help me control anxiety and unwanted thoughts. Shian has taught me how to clearly focus on my thoughts and feelings, which in turn gave me many light bulb moments. I know myself on a much deeper level and feel more connected to my family and my inner self. I’m starting to trust my own judgements and I’m taking much more ownership and responsibility to which direction I want my life to be heading. I really am very grateful to Shian for pulling me back into reality and for being so much fun to work with. Many, many thanks!

Nicky Glover

Health and Wellness Entrepreneur

I was grateful to have found Shian to be one of my guides. She is passionate about helping others, uses questions effectively and is calm in her approach. Through relevant dialogue, she helped me develop new perspectives, identify root causes, and build skills to regulate my emotions through very targeted practices. I feel more in control of myself after our initial session together. Now, we are continuing to work together to re-enforce these skills through focused intentions. I doubt I could have created these results myself, even with age and more experience, without Shian’s help and guidance. I am most grateful to Shian for offering me a different way of seeing and interpreting. Highly recommended.

Charles Chang

Co-founder and Entrepreneur

I wholeheartedly recommend Shian Chuan as a professional coach or trainer with regards to self-management and life choices. I engaged Shian’s services to see how she would be able to help improve my productivity and life issues. Shian is poised, professional, and personal enough to touch on key issues in life that are cornerstones to authenticity and happiness. She does not push her views, and manages problems in a constructive manner. When dealt with objections or irrationality, she is patient and not quick to judge. She is calm, and understanding and recognises the need to guide instead of dictate.

If you are willing to see what kind of guidance she can offer you and tackle issues in a systematic fashion, she will help untangle the complex intricacies that may weigh your life down; helping you to regain your confidence in life again.

Singchuen

Shian, she was able to help me pin down my goals and redirect my mindset and actions toward a positive trajectory. Her genuine spirit and empathy are unmatched. Her insightfulness and natural ability to coach and motivate are both impactful and inspiring. In her holistic approach, she focused on my specific needs then defined a clear roadmap to help me overcome my personal roadblocks and open doors to new possibilities. Thanks to Shian, I now have greater mental focus and confidence in my abilities and am well on my way to reaching my goals.

Mia Hakim

Corporate Communications Leader, HP

Shian has provided me with the most graceful guidance. She deftly maneuvers me around my emotions with precise questions that have me feeling better and thinking more constructively about myself in no time. There was one incident in particular where I was reacting to a discouraging confrontation with a senior executive, but after speaking to Shian, it evolved into a better understanding of my company’s corporate culture and my place in it, how much I really loved my job and what I loved about it. I can’t tell you how she did it, I’m sure I didn’t make it easy! Shian has a way of bringing you to the surface, and it has been a gift to me.

Jennifer S

Sales Manager

As a coach, Shian has the magical ability to penetrate each individual’s motivations and tensions in order to unlock their fullest potential. She is masterful from the first meeting and can amazingly adapt her style to each individual’s needs. In my case, she was able to help me identify my goals, create action plans to achieve them, and held me accountable for delivering against my own goals. At the same time, she worked relentlessly to penetrate any mental, emotional, and physical barriers that were shrouding my path to success. Every session with Shian is worthwhile and will tell you more about yourself than you ever thought possible. I highly recommend her.

Tue Le

Fortune 100 Global Brand Manager

Shian has empowered me to find my authentic voice and confidence. She has helped me identify strengths I haven’t appreciated as much as I should and build on those strengths to realize I already am the person I want to be – I just need to give myself the permission to be that person. What I like most about her style is that the conversations are free flowing, and I can trust Shian with my innermost thoughts. I’ve always felt respected and honored in our meetings.

Jen L

I appreciated that Shian listened and acknowledged the emotional component to what I was sharing. She never judged the situation and she asked probing questions to get to the root of why I was sharing a specific example and the associated emotion. That was helpful because the probing questions dug deeper to why I was feeling a certain way. She also provided strategies as to how to navigate the situation. She helped me to calm down, slow down, and quite the noise from things/people/projects that don’t directly impact the projects I’m working on.
